what!? this game has a pokeball system?

[darthsaber89]

I played a little of this game and got some capsules that capture creatures. so awesome... of course i caught one and accidently let it go cause appparently i need a collar? anyway i thought that was a brilliant reference to pokemon. what other references are there.

The collars are like EPP augments; they improve your pet's abilities (somewhat).

[darthsaber89]

how do you tame pets?

[Nirvash]

You lower their health for increased chances, then peg them with a capture pod.

What I don't know is, can you level them up to get stronger? Or is it just whatever you catch and a collar?

Well, sounds like your after the wild ones on the planet, right?

Anyway, in order to tame a pet, you've gotta get one of those Capture Pods. Like in Pokemon, you can't just out right capture them- you've got to weaken it without killing it. When it finally has low health (less than half its health bar), toss the pod at it.

Now you've got yourself a new traveling partner!

I was wondering that, too. I did notice something, though.

Whenever I update my armor to the next tier, their stats increase a bit. Maybe they level up with you?

[darthsaber89]

i knew how to capture but how do they follow u without u releasing them. i accidently released the one i caught lol.

[Astrogeon]

If you go too far from your captured friend, it'll eventually teleport to you. If you leave the planet while it's out, it'll go wherever you teleported to with you, assuming it didn't fall in battle.

[darthsaber89]

oh ok i will get on that sooon

[Bob of Mage]

Their stats are tied to your own. Get better gear, and they get stronger. Also you need to use the pet healing station if they fall in battle to restore them to full health. Since you have to place it down, you can heal them in the field, but not in any dungeons.

Heal staves are great for healing pets. To get a released one back just use the pod again, sadly the healing station is basically end tier tech.

[Rio]

Pets until more recently gained levels through combat, pets got super good and useful over time. Now that they are tied to your armor rating, most of them are so easily killed they aren't worth using.

About the best are now Kleux sentry, adult poptop, giant birds sometimes found very high up in the sky.

Kleux sentry with healing 3 collar dies rarely.

Also you can't make the healing station to revive them until mid/early end game where you reach durasteel tier.

Also, even in end game armor don't expect pets 1.0 to survive boss battles.

[Aro]

The giant birds (or whatever the rng made) are on all planets. May take a while to catch them though since it takes a while to get up there safely.
Plus most aren't good.

My taroni with a health collar 3 is actually pretty good

[darthsaber89]

[The Real Cory Delaminguez]
